Nobody here rate the Money section??...

If all else fails there’s the Sunday Sport.

Not a bad read if truth be told.

Yes and they don't even do the Funday Times any more.

On a serious note, the glossy has had some amazing examples of photo-journalism over the years.
I remember when I was about 15 they did a feature on the making of Quest For Fire and there seemed to be a lot of pics of Rae Dawn Chong in the noddy. The pages were duly ripped out and distributed round the dorm (for a price).

I used to like it in the old days when it had free plastic dinosaurs. Oh, no hang on, that was Brooke Bond Tea bags.

The Sunday Times used to have a great Scottish sports desk which probably had the best football read if you live up here but they got rid of that a year or so ago during cost cutting. One of the nails in the coffin for me.

The sport section is unrivalled though...

The only reason I occasionally buy it.

Stopped buying the sunday times a couple of months ago, there seemed to be bugger all news of any worth, much of it seemed to be society news which really just amounted who the idle rich were pumping this week.

I moved to the Observer which is dreadful, pages of rants about how we are all on the breadline thanks to the Conservatives interspersed with reviews of luxury holidays in Africa and recipes using £80 slabs of organic beef.

I am moving back the times and if it is still crap I am binning the sunday papers.

I absolutely agree. I throw away 80% of it. I just want a newspaper.

By the way, it costs £2.20 in the UK.

I think it had hit 6 quid here when I last bought it.

No magazine either. It wasn't just transport costs, since by then it was printed reasonably locally.

It was actually
£1.50 for the paper
£0.25 - pen
£15.00 - 6 pints of fozzies
£1.00 -pkt chedder and mustard brannigans crisps
£7.00 - bunch of flowers

£24.75

£1.50 iirc

I haven't bought any opinionpaper for 5 years. Not even to wipe my arse with.

WHS - Only pensioners buy the sunday papers these days

(or the saturday ones, or the any day of the week ones come to that)

[EternalOptimist]

How much does it cost nowadays?

£1.50 iirc

I got it last week funnily enough, first time in years, for the sudukio fiendish.
